Description
- The finer and narrower the needle, the less painful it is in use.
- Oddly, higher gauge numbers indicate finer and narrower needles, while lower gauge numbers indicate heavier, thicker needles.
- Lancets are small, sharp objects that are used to prick the skin.
- This piercing of the skin allows you to draw a small drop of blood to the surface in order to test blood glucose levels using a blood glucose monitor and blood glucose test strips.
- Lancing devices allow you to set the depth of the needle as it goes into your skin, so you're getting consistency with your regular lancing process.
